He uses the codes of written and spoken language of the mass media as a personal experience to amplify his idea that poetry is also an information process. He holds a Masters in Computer Science and he is a member of the Transacoustic Research Institute and the Vegetable Orchestra.

In this workshop at the Notman House, Piringer will show the concepts and talk about the development & dissemination of his award winning text and sound art apps for iOS, Apple Watch and OSX, including:
unimator // uses the whole character set of the device including Smileys, Emojis, and other symbols and scripts. Enter the texts with a special keyboard that shows all possible characters. Make animated ascii-art and astonishing text animations.

tiny poems // brings concrete minimal poetry to mobile devices like Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad. The pieces show short and dynamic texts for the wrist. The poems reflect time and vanity and change constantly according to the continuosly passing time.

unicode infinite // a generative interactive infinite text video installation. It animates the glyphs of the basic multilingual plane of the unicode standard and presents this range of the human culture of writing as a polyphonic text video installation.
konsonant // plays with letters and sounds, builds acoustic machines and controls morphing clouds. Enjoy the sounds and shapes of letters by line drawing, physics simulations or acoustic networks.

Sortir de l’écran / Spoken Screen – Evening of performances
Jörg Piringer (Austria) darkvoice
Alexis O’Hara (Montreal) Spoken Noise
Entrance : 10 $ / 5 $ (member)
darkvoice is an electronic audiovisual text performance about the role of spoken language in the age of permanent and all-encompassing surveillance. In analogy to historic secret languages like German Rotwelsch or the French argot the performance investigates the construction of an electronic secret language that cannot be understood at all. This language is called darkvoice :
darkvoice is the obfuscation of language. darkvoice is the code-talker that no one understand because his language never existed. darkvoice is the ultimate self-censorship, the undecipherable message. darkvoice is the sound of the new world order, the private language of the net.
The acoustic and visual material of the performance consists only of voice, electronically manipulated voice and text or letter-shapes.
